At Action Training, we offer a range of first aid training, designed to teach skills
for any situation where medical assistance may be required.
First Aid training course is an entry level emergency first aid medical course,
which covers a broad variety of emergency medical subjects / modules. The course
provides the learner with the theoretical information and practical skills necessary
to initiate and apply first aid treatment in the workplace and or home environment
along with the knowledge of what first aid supplies are required.
First aid has a course progression pathway, whereby a learner progresses from Level
1 which focuses on basic first aid, to level 2 and then level 3. A learner also
has the option of completing combination courses i.e. level 1, 2 and level 3 combination
courses. Learners are taught how to perform emergency life support skills and how
to apply these skills in emergency situations Skills such as safety, contacting
the emergency services, CPR, Chocking, stopping bleeding, treating burns and fractures
etc. The courses include learner manuals, audio visual aids, simulated scenarios
and practical exercise.
Emergency first aid is an invaluable skill for both the workplace and the domestic
environment. Our courses provide information not only on the practical handling
of a medical emergency, but also on the first aid kit that should be kept close
on hand.
After completing first aid level 3 the next step in progression would be to complete
the Basic Ambulance Assistant course, which is entry level into the
emergency medical services.
Note: First aiders in the workplace are a legal compliance requirement for
all businesses, enforced by the department of labour and their inspectors. It is
proposed that there be a minimum of 2 first aiders in each company or building and
that a guideline ratio of 1: 50 employees be trained in First aid. It is encouraged
that as many as possible be trained in this life saving skill!
